Patent EP-1375986-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ERICKSON IRVING C
IPC: F16K1/54
Filed: 2003-06-18
Abstract: A precision modulating globe valve (10) for controlling the flow of a fluid
from zero to a maximum flow rate. The valve plug of the globe valve includes at
least one flow modulating channel (58) recessed from the outer surface of the valve
plug. The outer surface of the valve plug engages a sealing member (40) positioned
along the inner surface of the valve port. The sealing member provides a fluid-tight
seal between the outer surface of the valve plug and the valve port. The flow
modulating channel is recessed from the outer surface of the valve plug from a
minimum flow end to a maximum flow end. The radially recessed area of the flow
modulating channel increases from the minimum flow end to the maximum flow
end, such that as the valve plug moves past the stationary sealing member, an
increased flow rate is created through the valve port.

Abstract: An oral fluid collection and transfer device comprises a collection device
(10) and a test cartridge (100). The collection device includes a frame or chassis
(14), and an absorbing pad (12) for absorbing oral fluid and which is secured
around part of the frame with part of the frame protruding from the pad. A
collapsible cover (16) covers the absorbing means and has apertures (68) forthe
ingress of oral fluid into contact with the absorbing pad. Acap (18) covers the part
of the frame protruding from the absorbing pad. The cap and the cover latch
together to surround the frame and the absorbing pad. The device also includes
a fluid adequacy indicator (20) in the form of an electrical circuit with an LED (66)
which is completed when the absorbing means has absorbed a predetermined
volume of oral fluid. The test cartridge (100) has a collection chamber (110) to
allow insertion of the collection device into the test cartridge. A test strip (150) is
used to for test the oral fluid for the presence of analytes. The collection device
(10) is located at a fixed location relative to the test cartridge (100) within the
collection chamber(110), in which location the absorbing pad (12) undergoes a
controlled degree of compression, thereby transferring a predetermined volume
of oral fluid from the absorbing pad to the test strip. A transportation vial may also
be provided for the secure transportation of a sample of oral fluid to a laboratory
for test verification. After initial testing, the collection device (10) is inserted into a
transportation vial (180) wherein the remaining oral fluid contained within the
collection device (10) is transferred to a sample vial (190) containing a
preservative substance to prevent degradation of the sample during transportation.
The collection device (10) and transportation vial (180) are repackaged and sealed
with a tamper proof seal before being returned to a laboratory for confirmation or
further tests.

Inventor: FRIESEN LARRY
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-12-01
Abstract: A method for more efficient data transmission by matching the length of the data portions
of a packet to the width of the buffer in the processor. In the SPI 4.2 protocol the data portion
can be set to 64 bytes and the buffer set to 64 byte width. This allows for more efficient use of
the network processor resources while remaining within the bounds set by the standard. The
control words bracketing the data portions may also have SOP and/or EOP indications set to
specify the start or end of a packet. The Network Processor, by its design, will store each data
portion in a 64 byte slot. Packet headers are stored in a single buffer slot, thereby eliminating the
need to reassemble the header before the packet can be processed, making packet processing
more time efficient.

Title: Compositions et methodes de traitement d'une maladie cardiaque
IPC: C12N9/12
Filed: 2003-09-19
Abstract: Selon l'invention, la voie de signalisation de PTEN/PI3K régule un vaste ensemble de réponses cellulaires fondamentales. On a découvert que l'inactivation spécifique aux cardiomyocytes du PTEN suppresseur de tumeur provoque une hypertrophie et, étonnamment, une importante réduction de la contractilité cardiaque. L'analyse de souris doubles mutantes a révélé que l'hypertrophie cardiaque et les défauts de contractilité peuvent être découplés du point de vue génétique. PI3Kη induit la modification de la taille des cellules et agit comme régulateur négatif de la contractilité cardiaque. Du point de vue mécanique, PI3Kη inhibe la production d'AMP cyclique et l'hypercontractilité peut être inversée par blocage de la fonction de l'AMP cyclique. Ces données montrent que PTEN revêt un rôle in vivo important dans l'hypertrophie cardiomyocytaire et la signalisation GPCR, et permettent d'identifier une fonction pour la voie PTEN-PI3Kη dans la modulation de la contractilité du muscle cardiaque.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système d'automatisation pour déterminer la séquence de traitement de blocs fonctionnels d'une fonction technologique (1). Ce procédé consiste à déterminer un premier bloc fonctionnel (5a) dont les sorties sont respectivement déconnectées ou représentent exclusivement un ou plusieurs signaux de sortie (9) de la fonction technologique (1). A partir de ce premier bloc fonctionnel (5) et à l'opposé de la direction de circulation des signaux (15), on recherche un second bloc fonctionnel (5b) dont les entrées (11) sont respectivement déconnectées ou reçoivent un ou plusieurs signaux d'entrée (7) uniquement de la fonction technique (1). Ensuite, à partir de ce second bloc fonctionnel (5), avec ce second bloc (5b) et chaque bloc fonctionnel (5a) suivant dans la direction de circulation des signaux jusqu'au premier bloc fonctionnel (5a), lui-même compris, on caractérise toutes les entrées de bloc (11) qui sont respectivement déconnectées, reçoivent un signal d'entrée (7) uniquement de la fonction technologique (1) ou sont reliées à au moins une sortie de bloc (13) d'un autre bloc fonctionnel (5) dont l'ensemble des entrées a déjà été caractérisé. Le bloc fonctionnel (5) est marqué dès que toutes ses entrées (11) sont caractérisées. On obtient finalement la séquence de traitement des blocs fonctionnels (5, 5a, 5b) correspondant à la séquence de marquage des blocs fonctionnels.

Abstract: A radio frequency paging service has one or more TDMA return channels (R) in
which terminals (14) acknowledge receipt of messages having an acknowledge
flag set. In one alternative, slots are allocated in the return channel (R) by a slot
allocation field in the respective messages. In another alternative, each terminal
(14) monitors the messages addressed to other terminals (14) to determine
which of them require a response, and determines, from the order of a message
addressed to itself among the messages requiring a response, which slot to use
for acknowledgement. The TDMA return channels (R) include unreserved slots
which terminals (14) access on a contention basis. The frequencies of
transmissions in the slots are randomized within a predefined limit to reduce the
probability of interference between different terminals (14) in the same
unreserved slot. The predefined limit is based on the maximum differential
Doppler shift between terminals (14). The return channels (R) are allocated as a
continuous block of frequency channels, thereby reducing signalling overhead
when allocating these channels, and allowing the block of channels to be
decoded by a single DSP. 
     Data bursts transmitted by the terminals (14) in the return channels (R)
are half-rate convolutionally encoded and interleaved so that the transmitted bit
sequence contains alternating bits from the two outputs of the half-rate encoder. 
     Each terminal (14) is identified by a forward identity code in received
messages and by a return identity code in transmitted messages, the identity
codes being related by a predetermined algorithm.

Abstract: A communication system, clock recovery circuit, and method are provided for
allowing data to be transmitted across a communication system and between clock
recovery circuits absent a clock master specifically designed for one node of the
communication system. Absent a clock master, the communication system is permitted
to enter into an all slave mode, with periodic unlock conditions possibly rotating about
the communication system ring topology. However, the unlock condition can be readily
detected and if the received data bitstream formed into a recovered clock exceeds a
threshold above or is less than a threshold below a reference clock generated during
instances of unlock, then the clock recovery circuit will fix the synchronizing clock to the
reference clock, and cause the bitstream to resynchronize to the reference clock before the
reference clock is again disabled to allow the communication system to re-enter the all
slave and rotating unlock condition. Periodic application of a reference clock
interspersed with periodic application of a clock having transitions equal to the incoming
bitstream proves advantageous in avoiding a design where a dedicated master must be
used within a specified communication system node.
